Hey its different now.

 

[garyd]

Democrats can say whatever they want and the alphabet soupers will always assume the best. On the other hand let a Republican say anything even tangentially related to race and it's katy bar the door.

 

[PatekPhilippe]

So true..they never hold their own to the same standard as they hold everyone else. Perfect example...Senator Byrd Democrat a confirmed member of the Ku Klux Klan...is forgiven.

 

[Baruch Menachem]

It all boils down to whether you are a useful tool or not. Trent Lott was in the way. Byrd, who seems not to have changed his mind much, and Reid help move the ball forward. They can say be anything. The goal is everything. The only morality is victory.

Good point....and true.

Who are the idiots that voted Reid into office in the first place? What a total loser.

Here's a great picture of Reid that speaks volumes:

Reid's about to file for moral bankruptcy .

 

[garyd]

That and intellectual bankruptcy, the race for which one comes first is neck and neck.

a liberal Wilsonite progressive caught in his favorite pose.

 

[The Rabbi]

Yes, perfectly demonstrating that the Democratic Party is the party of "Fuck You."

In order to file for moral bankruptcy, I believe he must first prove that he had morals to start with. Tricky.

Robert Byrd is not in the KKK.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Hey its different now.

Yeah, it's different now, because conservatives almost unanimously defended Trent Lott at the time (not that the two situations are even analogous).

So why aren't the conservatives defending Reid now?

eh?

There's your difference. Rightwing partisan hypocrisy, as usual.

That has nothing to do with the classic rightwing hypocrisy occurring here.

spare me the bullshit. when's harry resigning?

he's obviously no more fit to hold office than lott was and the "mom, the other kid started it" meme is getting moth eaten.

 

[chanel]

Racist comments and jokes generally aren't aimed at an individual. The bigger issue here may be that Harry thought this inexperienced light skinned negro might be a puppet leader or a useful idiot to him and Madame Pelosi. I would be furious if I was Obama. Furious.
